hello again mate<br><br>site configuraion>site information should have url for frontpage you can set it there. /node is the default front page (it just displays everything in date order, hence 'river of content') - <a href="http://fto.digitalrhino.biz/node">http://fto.digitalrhino.biz/node</a> is what i mean<br>
<br>your front page is a bit fubar, and im not sure how to help you with the CCK stuff! dont know how you managed to do all this without CCK (its been so long since i used anything but CCK ! )<br><br><a href="http://fto.digitalrhino.biz/gallery/Gallery-1">http://fto.digitalrhino.biz/gallery/Gallery-1</a><br>
<br>have you enabled the option 'access content'?<br><br>also, in the content types, it may be disabled or hidden in the display options (guess/unlikely)<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 5:01 PM, Timothy Washington <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:timothyjwashington@yahoo.ca">timothyjwashington@yahoo.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br>1) I tried adding a text field and text area to one of our Content types - an "Article". But I am not seeing any new content / text after I add some to one of the articles. What do I have to do to see those text changes in my page? Is there some kind of caching issue here? </div>

<div>4) How do you manage the homepage that Drupal uses? I had a user delete the homepage and now I need to recreate it. But this doesn't seem to be a straightforward process. </div></div></div></blockquote></div><div>
<div class="im"><span style="color: rgb(162, 162, 162);">/node should be a normal 'river of content' view. I would worry more about users being able to change the homepage atm than recreating it. </span><br></div>
I don't quite follow this. How can a user (anonymous or authenticated) control what homepage appears? Or why would I want that to happen? In this case, I just want one homepage to appear all the time, and I can't see where to set that. This is obviously my lack of understanding of how Drupal handles this. <br>
